(I use Java a lot more than Scratch. Java uses %.)

Seriously, the blocks should not be too wordy, it should be short.

You know this block:

(() mod (0))

When i was new, i had no idea what it did. IT actually gives the remainder of those numbers divided.
It should be name like this:

remainder of () / () :: operators reporter

You see, less confusing.

No support. Modulo is not the same as remainder; google it. Can we have this topic closed?

This is supposed to be a coding website to get you start for begginers that don't know coding at all.

In Scratch, “arrays” are called “lists,” even though most programming languages call them “arrays.” A beginner is more likely to understand “list” than “array.” Why can't mod be renamed?

If it ain't broke don't fix it. There are a lot of things in scratch that don't correspond to real programming languages. There are also things that aren't even necessary. I too think Scratch is designed to be introductory and simple, but MIT has done a great job of making some things complicated and some things simple. Consider these:
10^ of (), e^ of (), log of (), ln of ()
Anyone who hasn't taken algebra or trigonometry won't know what they are. I'm a HS graduate and have finished 4 terms of college calculus- within that I think the modulus is an amazing tool. Leaving the name as “mod” should generate curiosity in people to find out what that means. Just because there have been a few posts in ‘Questions About Scratch’ asking about the mod doesn't mean that it's too complicated for beginners to understand it, young or old. Consider this: “mod” or “modulus” isn't even the C++ syntax for this function! The syntax is “10 % 3” for “10 mod 3”.

Apparently, people thinks that their time is very useless that they wasted it correcting my typo. I know what a remainder is, and I have done a lot of English-language math homework, read English math-related books and sites, etc. to know that.

“Mod” is for Modular Arithmetic- not just remainders, search it up, and please research!
